Micro-Swiss All Metal Hotend Kit for Creality CR-10s PRO/CR-10 Max/Ender 3 V2 Neo

As I have been slowly gaining more experience with 3D printing, I started hitting some snags when trying to print on glass. After a lot of trial and error, I thought I was getting close. Then, the exiting extruder clogged, impressively. I swapped out the original CR10S Pro V1 print head with this one, and it’s been working perfectly! Just as the directions indicated, it was a simple drop-in replacement. I have not had any clogging, or other issues to speak of. I am now getting very consistent prints with PLA directly on glass! This is super cool because the parts just pop off the bed as it cools. Adding this, in case anyone else is having issues with the CR10S Pro V1 and glass: After some trial and error and seeing my 1st layers being so close to the bed, nothing can be extruded too not close enough to work, I am now sure that the inductive sensor is at fault. If I warm up everything, re-home the printer prior to every print, it works well. (Hoping that the Tiny Machines 3D BL Touch Kit for Creality CR-10S Pro 3D Printers will fix this ... fingers-crossed)

Yes sir. Thats right. Do it, you wont regret it. Best upgrade Ive done so far. And Ive done a bunch. And yes it fits the Ender 3 Pro.

I have the Creality CR-10s Pro v2. The stock hotend was failing. I know that Mirco Swiss are some of the best 3d printer upgrade parts out there so I purchased this. I had to do some re-calibration but after that this hotend prints much better than the stock hotend...IMO.

Not much to like here. The first kit was complete and got to the point of hot tightening the nozzle when the nozzle sheered off in the heat block with the torque driver set to 30 inch pounds as specified. Replacement kit, well I have no idea how the nozzle will fair since its missing the two screws that should be installed in the heater block to hold the heater in place. No way to tighten around the heater. Im going to dig through my tiny screw collection before returning it because I dont want the hassle but Im disappointed. Ive used Micro Swiss on printers in the past and they were great. Its too bad theyve gone so far downhill over the last few years.

I wish I could give this hot-end a better review. It is very well made to say the least. That is why I gave it three stars. The hardware they supply is a little subpar. One of the screws that holds the hot end to the printer literally had no way to use it. It was perfectly round inside with no way for the allen key to grab it. I dont blame Microswiss for this as I doubt they make the hardware. I actually installed this hot end right after I made my first print with the original CR hotend. I followed the instructions to the letter. Used a torque wrench and followed some of the tips left in the comment sections. But I kept getting brittle prints and stringing issues. I tried various temps, and finally decided I wanted to try my original hotend once again. I had noticed on a couple prints that the tip would get a little goopy so to speak. So I would clean it off. It wasnt until I pulled the fan cover off to swap it out that I discovered there is a leak. and the whole hotend was covered in PLA. The heating element has literally welded itself inside the hotend. So I am not sure where it all went wrong... But it went wrong :p Ordered an original CR10s Pro hotend kit. This is mostly a hobby, and I doubt I will ever be printing exotic materials. If I do.... I shall revisit this hotend.

An all metal hotend is one of the first upgrades that should be done on creality ender series. The stock hot end has design issues and caned to clogging and serious leaking. This hotend can eliminate most of those issues if assembled correctly. Check YouTube for assembly and breaking info.

Used for Creality cr 10s pro. This is not an upgrade for the faint of heart. All said I am a newbie and I was able to get through it. I did have to talk to micro Swiss text support. I found out that the nozzle and hot end that you get with your original printer from creality has a non-standard thread. So when you go to micro Swiss, you go to when its considered in the industry has a standard thread on your nozzle and hotend. After talking to micro Swiss tech support, all was well.

I have been running ABS thru this constantly for about the last 6 weeks. Does a great job. Printer is Creality CR-10S Pro v2.

Nice extruder needs so modifications to design to keep the grub screw from stripping. Need to tap the right or left side for a longer grub screw the same size to give more threads to bite on too, if you remove the grub screw a few time like 10 over the years the threads get wreckt. Also a longer grub screw to fully take advantage of the very small amount of threads would have also helped the problem, poor engineering. Excellent quality overall. Wouldnt suggest the price point till they redesign the extruder. That is the only problem Ive ever had with it.

This is a great drop in replacement. No problems so far with it.
